Meaning in the visual arts centers on how the physical work makes its content or presence visible. The art object is fundamental. Indeed, the different object forms of each visual medium allows our experience of space-time, and our relations to other people, to be aesthetically embodied in unique ways. Through these embodiments, visual art compensates for what is otherwise existentially lost, and becomes part of what makes life worth living. The present book shows this by discussing a range of visual art forms, namely pictorial representation, abstraction, sculpture and assemblage works, land art, architecture, photography, and varieties of digital art.

The achievement deals with the reflections on the settlement of the Koper District (Koprski okraj) after the Second World War. In the first post-war years, Koper was mostly settled by professional and political personnel, and in the later period other people from various social strata followed. According to author’s hypothesis, the communist authorities systematically encouraged settlements only during the first period, and later these processes took place more spontaneously. The article is published in a reputable domestic journal that is a leader in migration research.

Numerous studies are devoted to the distribution, chronology and historical interpretation of the so-called Scythian arrowheads, which are known in the vast area between Central Europe, Eurasia and the Near East. Less well known and researched so far is the occurrence of incised and cast signs or markings that occur on the wings and sometimes the sockets of the two- and threewinged bronze arrowheads. While such signs on finds from the Northern Pontic region and Anatolia have been known for some time, their occurrence on arrowheads from eastern Central Europe, more precisely on arrowheads from the fortified Hallstatt-settlement Smolenice-Molpír in Slovakia, belongs to the more recent discoveries. While initially only a very small number of pieces with incised signs have been discovered and published by Anja Hellmuth Kramberger in 2006, we can now say that their number and their variety are much larger. Including hitherto unknown finds from a private collection, the finds from Smolenice-Molpír are now among the largest ensembles of arrowheads with incised signs or markings, which are known to date. With a view to comparable finds, the question arises of the interpretation of these signs - is it possibly a sign system that was widespread in the mounted nomadic cultural circle and can be addressed even as an early form of writing? With their contribution, the authors not only present a previously unknown group of finds, but also provide a new interpretation through a broader comparison.
